Originally posted by buckky What is the Jewish perspective on the Fall in the Garden of Eden ? Do they feel that all are doomed because of it, or do they look at it differently? If they look at it like the Christians do then I wonder why they never talk of Hell or Heaven. No afterlife is mentioned to my understanding by the Jewish faith. Who knows the full scoop ?
Jesus was Jew and He spoke extensively concerning heaven and hell.

And therin lies your problem. You refuse to think. You refuse to use the brain that your god supposedly gave you. Why wont you look at your relgion critically (as you do all other religions)?
Perhaps you may then come up with something like:
"I can find no rational reason whatsoe ...[text shortened]... e of a supernatural god ... but I still choose to believe"
If you were using your brain you'd realise how out of context you took me.
I posed the question in reply to buckky's question about what the Jews view on the creation story was as compared to that of Christians in the hope that it would provoke some thought as to the validity of any one's view in light of the fact that the only view worth having is God's view.
Most everyone posting in this forum is a pretender of one sort or another, putting up a front as though they know something better than God. Dupes!
God has an override switch. Christ. We've all been checkmated!

You are right about one thing. We are all pretending to know something, because it feels good to think you know something. It's all illusion. It's ego blinding us all from reality. My ego tells me something stinks in Denmark, and it might be my ego.

Originally posted by Kunsoo And what is wrong with borrowing from earlier stories? Jaws borrowed from Moby Dick. Captain Marvel borrowed from Superman. Star Trek borrowed from the Forbidden Planet. The Magnificent Seven borrowed from the Seven Semarai. Last Man Standing from Fist Full of Dollars.
Jaws, and the rest, we KNOW are stories. Same with the bible. Exactly the same. No god needed to write the bible, just human intelligence. It was already stated we have the best brains on the planet, some of us so intelligent as to be nearly god-like anyway. For instance, Beethoven, Mozart, Einstein, Imhotep.

Okay, so if we know they are stories, what is the harm?
